Townscape was composed for the centenary of the St. Cecilia concertband from Oudenburg a town which also inspired the composer throughout this work. The first part depicts a train slowly approaching from afar and then vanishing into the distance again. This is rendered by a sort of repetitive pulse in the music. This is followed by some serious action with jet skis on the Sinnesael lake. Their spectacular twists and turns are transformed into an exuberant theme and a middle section with several changes of time signature. After that comes a restful lyrical Nocturne a musical painting of the mill at night. The work concludes with a lively finale that is an ode to dailylife in Oudenburg a place where people take initiative and there is plenty to see and do.

Young people have their whole future in front of them. Such a message is reflected in this fresh and sparkling short work by Christian Bouthier. It is composed for a flexible line-up with each part plays a significant role meaning there is something of interest for all players. The lively rock tempo is maintained throughout providing an easy work which is full of energy!

Suite for symphonic wind band is a rich orchestral piece that taxes the musicians to the utmost. The first part starts with a lyric melody in the French horn section to be taken over by the full orchestra ending in a kind of anarchistic entrada. The second part starts with a transparently orchestrated polyphonic web slowly passing into a richly arranged wave like movement that stops suddenly leading to the third part's attaca start. This third part is a fragile adagio con tenerezza. The finale is extremely virtuous and feriocious. It is a musical expression of anger fear and despair.

Es löscht das Meer die Sonne aus-C’est à Venise que naquirent les barcarolles chants des gondoliers au rythme toujours ternaire (6/8 9/8 ou 12/8) qui suggère par la répétition constante d'un même rythme de basse le balancement régulier des embarcations sur la lagune. La mélodie du chant Schifferlied (Chant du batelier) de Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860) dérive non pas d’une barcarolle vénitienne mais d’une barcarolle de Provence.Après avoir arrangé la barcarolle provençale Friedrich Silcher écrit un texte et publie le chant sous le titre Es löscht das Meer die Sonne aus (premier vers du texte) dans un recueil d’airs et de chants traditionnels. Schifferlied développe une ligne simple fluide et limpide à l’instar des mélodies viennoises. L’arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est fidèle à cette approche. Il peut être accompagné par un Chœur d’Hommes (TB - texte en langue allemande -Set vendu séparément - DHP 1094593-050).

Op. 31 Mwv A 9- Psalm ' Non nobis Domine ' / ' Nicht unserm Namen Herr ' Op.31 MWV A 9 Mendelssohn's first great orchestral psalm took almost six years to complete from the initial sketches and the first version of 1830 to the final version of 1835. Its premiere which took place at the Leipzig Gewandhaus did not take place until 1838. Unlike his other orchestral psalms Mendelssohn took the Latin words from the Vulgate as his principal text which stems from Psalm 113. When he later prepared his own German translation he made use of Psalm 115 from the Luther Bible. This edition by the leading Mendelssohn authorityJohn Michael Cooper incorporates all the relevant sources. In accordance with the work's genesis the vocal parts are underlaid with the Latin text and the German text appears underneath.

Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo string instruments and orchestra during the years 1773 to 1779. Especially important in this context are the years 1773 and 1775 which witnessed the creation of the five concertos for Violin and orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring. The reasons for this flourish of activity in this domain lie partly in the fact that Mozart who still occupied the post of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop was either obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility ofexperimenting with all the new compositional techniques acquired during his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773.
